Welcome to the Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE)!
DPIE is the result of an initiative to streamline county government operations in the areas of permitting, business licensing, inspections and property code enforcement.
Important: ePlan/ProjectDox System UNAVAILABLE over the Weekend
Prince George’s County ePlan/ProjectDox 9.1 Test Environment Upgrade is Scheduled for Saturday, December 8, 2018, 6 PM to 12 AM. During this time, the ProjectDox system will be unavailable. For questions or concerns over the weekend, please contact Robbi Das at (301) 456–6876; or Tia Collins at (301) 636–2066 during regular office hours.
As the ProjectDox/ ePlan upgrade to Version 9.1 progresses, please keep track of your changes to existing cases in case of technical errors. To help you navigate through the program, our staff has created an "ePlan New Features Quick Guide." Also, Avolve has created a more detailed "ePlan User Guide."
If you are experiencing issues with seeing or reviewing your design(s) in their Drawing Folders or unable to view Reports, review your Internet Trust/Permission settings and Firewall settings. Please review the attached "Implementing ProjectDox (ePlan) v. 9" guide with your IT Team or Provider.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience. For questions or concerns, please call (301) 636–2066.
